Matthew Quercia bounced on a rebound that came flying over the top of the net from a point shot to open the scoring. A minute later, Evan Vierling was the beneficiary of a Cyclones’ turnover to double the advantage. Peter Laviolette scored with a deflection that got through Talyn Boyko and pushed the score to 3-0. Patrick Polino countered for Cincy and scored a redirect of his own in connection with Zack Andrusiak.
* In the 2nd period, the Cyclones were shorthanded when Evan Vierling blasted in his 2nd goal of the game from the circle.
* Wheeling added another goal from the powerplay with Landon Cato back in the penalty box. David Jankowski, who finished with three points, snuck one past Boyko. Talyn made 21 saves, and Wheeling’s Taylor Gauthier recorded 30 stops.
